day 4 by Miss Riggs
Fri 21st October - 7.14pm by Caroline Riggs
Today was one of the best daysto far, we arrived late because of traffic and I thought we had missed PPI but we hadn't. All the children singing in one classroom was as inspiring as I remembered from last year. They were on their feet dancing and playing pretend trumpets and clapping, then Mamma Nora came in and started singing and dancing with Elvis. Felt very lifted and happy along with everyone else.
I then watched Billy's lesson with KG on colours and sat with two of the smallest cutest children ever to make pipe cleaner numbers. Unfortunatly I got way to into thetelson and started shouting out the answers when the kids didn't know them! Page looked embarrassed. Billy was a brilliant teacher though and praised me :)
Sam and the boys who ran the sports day were really impressive too. A local boarding school turned up to help and they managed to organise three different schools working together in the scorching heat. A bit sad it is the weekend as I have acquired a group of KG children who hang onto my hands and follow me around all break times and I miss them a little!
skyping with st andrews's assembly was good too, Elvis got to talk to the whole hall and we got to show them the well that they have fundraised for. Hope everyone at home has a good half term xxx keep commenting :)

Many thanks for the supporting comments on mike's blog - great to get an independent view - we'll have to see if mrs hague will admit it as evidence towards gcse drama ;-)

Did anyone video PPI so that we could maybe share just a little of that amazing experience with you?
I was telling Starfish Class about your trip and showed them the front picture on this blog. They were all really interested and shocked when I was relaying some of the boys impressions of their walk through the town yesterday. They want to see some photos when you are back.
Keep safe and enjoy the weekend xxxxx
